Description
Many academic institutions across Texas now maintain significant digital collections of resources. The Texas Digital Library "What is Digital Librarianship?" Interview Series aims to provide a snapshot of the vast array of roles and responsibilities taken on by the people who work with these digital collections. These interviews highlight professionals working at Texas Digital Library-affiliated institutions, exploring both the tasks that make up their day-to-day jobs and the larger challenges of working with digital collections. In this installment, Ali Gunnells talks with Adrienne Cain, the Assistant Director of the Institute of Oral History at Baylor University. The interview covers the challenges of maintaining oral histories in the digital age and the importance of libraries as community hubs.
